A shared web hosting service or virtual hosting service is a form of web hosting service where more than one web site is hosted on the same server. It is generally the most economical option for hosting as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance.The hosting service must include system administration since it is shared by many users; this is a benefit for users that do not want to deal with it, but a hindrance to power users that want more control.
In shared hosting, the provider is generally responsible for management of servers, installation of server software, security updates and other aspects of the service. Servers are often based on the Linux operating systems because more Control Panel products are made for Linux. However, some providers offer Microsoft Windows based solutions. The Plesk control panel, for instance, has two versions - for Linux and Windows, both with very similar interfaces and functionality, with the exception of OS-specific differences.
